The trace I leave to me means at once my death, to come or already come, and the hope that it will survive me. It is not an ambition of immortality; it is fundamental. I leave here a bit of paper, I leave, I die; it is impossible to exit this structure; it is the unchanging form of my life. Every time I let something go, I live my death in writing. An extreme process; we exert ourselves without knowing whom exactly the thing we leave behind is confided to. Who is going to inherit, and how? It is a question that one can pose oneself today more than ever. It constantly preoccupies me.


Our techno-cultural era has deeply changed in this regard. People of my "generation," and a fortiori those of previous generations, had been familiar with a certain historical rhythm; we thought that such and such a work would survive, owing to its qualities, for one, two - or in the case of Plato, 25 - centuries. But today the acceleration of modalities of storage but also the wear and the wearing out changes the structure and the temporal parameters of our legacy. As regards thinking especially the question of survival has become subject to too many unknowns.


At my age, I am ready to accept the most contradictory ideas about this issue. I have, I assure you, a dual feeling that, on the one hand, and I say this with a smile, and rather immodesty, that we have not even begun yet to read me; that even if there are of course some very good readers (a few dozen in the world,
maybe), at bottom, it is only later that all this has a chance of emerging; but at the same time, I imagine that fifteen days after my death there will be nothing left, except what is kept in storage by legal mandate. I swear to you, I think that both these things are possible at the same time.

>To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend.

>What cannot be said above all must not be silenced but written.

>We are given over to absolute solitude. No one can speak with us and no one can speak for us; we must take it upon ourselves, each of us must take it upon himself.

>To live, by definition, is not something one learns. Not from oneself, it is not learned from life, taught by life. Only from the other and by death. In any case from the other at the edge of life. At the internal border or the external border, it is a heterodidactics between life and death.

>Whatever the poverty of our knowledge in this respect, it is certain that the question of the sign is itself more or less, or in any event something other, than a sign of the times. To dream of reducing it to a sign of the times is to dream of violence.

>What is called "objectivity," scientific for instance (in which I firmly believe, in a given situation) imposes itself only within a context which is extremely vast, old, firmly established, or rooted in a network of conventions … and yet which still remains a context.

>Circumcision, that’s all I’ve ever talked about.

Truly a great mind of the 20th century lmao

Can someone explain why french philosophers at that time didn't care about him? Continental philosophy of language didn't care about him(derrida didn't care to them after Saussure, neither), also french people on phenomenology didn't care that much to him, and literary criticism on continent didn't care about it because of non-cultural nature of his theory. Why he had been ignored?
